Analysis of the actual status and effect of mathematics prerequisite learning of elementary, middle, and high school students in Gyeonggi-do

The purpose of this study is to analyze the actual situation of mathematics prerequisite learning and to verify difference in effect between prerequisite learning students and non-students of elementary, middle, and high school in Gyeonggi-do. And to provide suggestion for prevention of mathematics prerequisite learning. For this study, the panel data of the 3rd year of Gyeonggi Education Panel Study(2015) were referred 10,760 elementary, middle and high school student. The results of this study are as follows. First, mathematics prerequisite learning was deepening throughout the whole school level. Second, the purpose of mathematics prerequisite learning was to improve grades or to better understand the content of school classes. Third, more than 90% of elementary, middle, and high school students who were mathematics prerequisite learning were receiving private tutoring. Fourth, mathematics prerequisite learning students had higher level of class understanding and concentration time than non-students. Fifth. mathematics prerequisite learning showed higher academic achievement, class attitude, mathematical efficacy, and mathematical interest than non-students. Based on the results, suggestions are as follows. First, it is necessary to diversify the level of mathematics teaching at school and to introduce class selection system in the mid term. Second, it is necessary to improve the problem-solving mathematics evaluation system and need to change teaching methods.
